Law professors like Obama tend to view the law as one means to an end, and others, like myself, tend to view it as the end itself. Jonathan Turley Read Quote
There are many people that frankly cannot get themselves to oppose Barack Obama. They make a lot of excuse for him. Jonathan Turley Read Quote
I supported Barack Obama. I wasn’t very quiet about my support. I thought he was going to be a refreshing change to George Bush. But what has happened is that we have an election that’s become a single-issue election, and that issue is Barack Obama. And he’s an icon to both sides. Jonathan Turley Read Quote
I’ve said it before: Barack Obama is really the president Richard Nixon always wanted to be. You know, he’s been allowed to act unilaterally in a way that we’ve fought for decades. Jonathan Turley Read Quote

I happen to agree with many of President Obama’s policies, but in our system, it is often as important how you do something as what you do. Jonathan Turley Read Quote
Obama is as likely to be impeached as he is to be installed as the next pontiff. And I say that as someone who has testified in Congress that this president has violated federal laws, unconstitutionally appointed various executive-branch officers and improperly transferred money.

Bill Clinton was impeached primarily for criminal conduct: lying under oath and misleading a federal grand jury about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Nixon would have been impeached for a wide array of criminal acts, as well as abuses of power. Jonathan Turley Read Quote
